[Q] Question about HTC DEV, error issue - HTC EVO 3D

Ok so Iv manged to finally get the screen to say "waiting for device" But thats when the phone is on..
If i restart with VOL DOWN and power into FAST BOOT USB AND I GO type in the cmd " fastboot oem get_identifier_token."
It says >>>>>> <Bootloader> [ERR] COMMAND ERROR wTF is the issue? I downloaded a ADB tool that installed in my CMD, I tried the SDK and it never would take always threw up error etc, so I ran across something else and its the Furthest iv gotton so far..
Only issue now is This ERROR when im in FASTBOOT USB.. Ive got a Virgin Mobil.. HBOOT 1.58.0000
Also on the HTC DEV site when i would go to DL the Zip for windows, At one point it kept saying ADB etc is missing.. So i found a program with the main tools that makes it do what it needs to without all the extra stuff SDK installs, Which again BTW would never fully extract and work..
So i go to the zip file i download for windows and now i go to run it, and it throws up the CMD window for half a sec and i can see allot is filled out but it goes rite away... So as i said this is the furthest ive gotton to unlocken it.. What could be causing this???

So ive manage to get my Phn to work for me and the program i DL/// . I got my token from HTC DEV, But now my only issue is The email they sent me with the code in it, I cant view it??
Does it take some kinda special view? It says its a UDF code or something? like that.. IM SOO CLOSE to unlocking it but so far at same time..
I never could get sdk tools to DL i found a ADB program that managed to make everything work just fine. It went from Pulling up NOTHING IN CMD for my phone, then with that simple download of the ADB program, It was a program someone just put the main things needed together and left out all the XTRA BS that SDK tools come with, SDK tools never once downloaded or open rite..
But as i said Ive pasted the TOKEN!! GOT SENT THE EMAIL, But the code attachment sent is not viewable, I have never run across something like this.... Ive also posted in EVO 3D about this issue, But anyone have a idea what i need to view the code?
BTW THIS IS THE SITE I DL THE PROGRAM FROM THAT FINALLY got me to get my CMD prompt to work for my phone and eventually give mmmmme my token..... Take a look at it... It might be allot easier new way for newbies in the future.

It's not viewable easily, you send file to phone using fastboot commands. The phone will bring up a screen asking you if you want to unlock

Im new to this whole thing, My issue also is I only have one smartphone, the one im unlocking and im just running it on wifi.. But Could i still send it to my phone somehow? Or is there another way to view the damn code>? I cant believe This one thing is holding me up..
it says this " VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Ive saved it to the Folder that Has FastBoot and adb (The code sent to my email).. Then i go past in cmd" fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
But it just says error Cannot open Unlock code bin.
When i saved the program with the fastboot etc in it, I just made a New Folder, How do i make it a spefic location.. ? Like for example
C:\ANDROID
OR C:\ADB tHAT way i can type it into the CMD prompt an it recognize it? Im thinking thats one of my main problems now as well...
At first i saved my new files to My documents.. Then i sent the ones with ADB &FASTBOOT to lOCAL DISK C:\
Where am i going wrong?

You need to be in the directory with the fastboot.exe and unlock.bin
Man it has been awhile for me to use Windows.
Maybe easier to make a folder in c:\
everything needs to be in same folder

Use Linux it's easier

Forget about HTC DEV it won't work with hboot 1.5+. You'll want s-off to be truly rooted anyways, and HTCdev will only unlock you.
You'll need to downgrade the bootloader to 1.4 and ROM(main) version to 1.13. Then run Revolutionary S-OFF, then reupdate the hboot back to 1.58 and main version back to 2.95.
I only know the process for my sprint cdma. However, none of my carrier settings were altered during that process, so I can say with quite a bit of certainty that the same process / RUU files can all be used on your phone as well
I put together a pretty clear noob guide in the first post of the lnk below. Took me 3 or 4 days with the help of two other members here, so when I finally got S-OFF I put together a summary of the whole process include all the links to the tools / files needed.
You'l need
blank CD and burner, know how to boot from a CD
data USB cable
Micro-sd adapter so you can load files onto your phone's micro-sd from your PC

As for the HTCdev unlock....I used ROOTEVO3DNEW instead of the fastboot binares that HTCdev gives you(C:\Android). Create a new folder in C:\ and name it rootevo3dnew. Unzip all rootevo3dnew.zip contents into that folder. This is the folder where you will do everything instead of C:\Android...place the unlock key .bin file directly in the main directory of rootevo3dnew . Type cd \rootevo3dnew in cmd to change the directory and repeat the process as you would with C:\Android
Chances are that will not work either, you will need to do the brick / downgrade
